Palm Beach Kennel Club (West Palm Beach, FL) - Page 64 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

its a shame i will never play cash tables here until my BR can sustain 2/5. Great tourney's tho. just took 4th in their 5 dollar game for 425 and i only re bought once and did not add on. See you next saturday!

Just curious, why is this?

I played here for the first time this past weekend, and the 1/2/2 action was some of the best I've seen in s fl.

Did I just have a good table?

I just don't like 2/1/2. I am a very calculated player who never straddles (and thinks straddling is the stupidest thing in poker) and values every dollar I have and make. Paying 5 dollars per orbit to play 1/2 is ridiculous AND a scam imo

Every time I play 2/5 at PBKC the button straddles 75% of the time with the SB first to act. You will really hate that.

A button straddle with action starting in the small blind is TOTALLY different from a mandatory button price to just play poker. PBKC is merely lucky no other cardrooms are around to compete in their area. And yes, I fold 90% of the time when someone straddles the button. There is a big difference in having a choice and doing something mandatory.

Out of curiosity, does PBKC (or any other south FL room) use prop players or similar?

No, against the law to have shills

How high is the ridiculous rake? I'm going to play there next month.

EDIT: Found ITT. NM.

There are a couple of mentions of food from 2010, so at the risk of asking an item often covered in this thread, how is the food inside the facility?

Quick and casual is fine but warmed up Aramark food is not my style.

Is there a place nearby I should check out before stopping in?

The bar across the street has a Jamaican food truck outside that I thought was very good. Inside is a lot better than warmed Aramark. Good hot dogs, and I am told the salads and breakfast sandwiches are good. The pizza didn't look great, but otherwise an OK menu.

+1 they have hilariously large salads

Poker room menu is good with decent variety.

For anyone thinking about playing @ PKBC, please read my thread here first about how I was robbed and then permanently banned from the room as a result:

Does anyone know what promotions they will be having for high hands next weekend? Can't seem to find them anywhere on the site.
